Roggenbier translates to “Rye Beer”. It is typically 50% Rye malt giving it a characteristic grainy spicy character, which is completed by the classic weizen yeast tartness, spicy clove phenolics and fruity banana esters. With hints of dark stone fruit and caramel flavours it is great Autumn and Winter wheat beer, but due to its medium dry to dry finish it is drinkable all year round.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat or Fermentis W-68. You could also try Fermentis WB-06.
Note on Rye Malt
Rye malt contains a high amount of beta glucan, which increases wort viscosity and may slow runoff during lautering and sparging, and potentially cause a stuck sparge.
A mash rest at 40℃, sometimes called a Beta Glucanase rest, can help to break down the beta glucan in the wort and reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.
As added insurance this recipe includes oat hulls in the mash. The oat hulls do not add any fermentables, but improve the filter bed of the mash to reduce the risk of a stuck sparge.

This is our interpretation of Emerson’s Bookbinder. In Emerson’s own words Bookbinder is:
A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka).
